Clawson was matched up with Navy's Andrew Binni in the blood round. The 1^st period of the match went scoreless after which Binni chose the down position to start the 2^nd period.  Binni earned a quick escape from Clawson to take a 1-0 lead. Multiple scoring attempts were made by both wrestlers, but the score remained 1-0 heading into the 3^rd period. Clawson chose the down position to start the period, earning an immediate escape to tie the score at 1.
 
Clawson got to work immediately pushing the pace against Binni, who got a stall call early in the 3^rd period. Then it was Binni who created the offense he got deep on a single leg shot. That looked like he was destined to score, but Clawson fended off the scoring opportunity towards the edge of the mat and was able to get a fresh start. The final seconds of regulation ticked away, but the score remained tied 1-1 headed to a sudden victory period. Clawson shot immediately off the whistle, but Binni defended and countered with a single leg shot and switched to a double leg for the finish. Binni earned the takedown along with four near-fall points to defeat Clawson in sudden victory 8-1.
